Abstract

In this paper we introduce a framework which facilitates policy-based decentralized authorization management in infrastructure as a service (IaaS). Specifically, our framework enables an IaaS service provider to delegate its administrative work to its business users. This allows each business user to build within the public cloud service provider a private cloud where the business user can manage its own users and resources allocated from the public cloud service provider. We discuss a security architecture based on our framework, along with a proof-of-concept implementation using an open source cloud software called Eucalyptus.
